Moon Gate

I encountered this surreal moment in western Ireland. The marine mooring buoy, lit by the afternoon sun, seemed suspended like some planetary orrery against the lunar limestone landscape of the Burren. The strange intruder is watched by the daytime moon. When I returned a second time to survey the scene the wall pier had been demolished and the celestial imposter had moved to some unseen coordinates.

I have no formal art training to even begin to speak to you about your art. So I will to express it as I see it. First all of your work is amazing with detail and mood and atmosphere. I feel the art as if I were in the settings to the point my other senses kick in and experience the art as well. Your color is amazing in all your different choices of media as well. If I had your patience I would paint in the realism world but I know that I don't so I have to stay just a bit less detailed in what I do. That said looking at art like yours is such a nice torture ! A cooks tip of the hat to a Chef I can say.
